Update....
Big stuff has gone on over the past month....
I moved back to Southern California about 3 weeks ago because I lost my job in Colorado. :(
I really hated having to move back in with my parents. But the Colorado job was just too physically demanding for me and, coupled with Denver's insane altitude, I just couldn't keep up with my co-workers. So right now I'm on the hunt for a new job. But its really scary because California's economy is even worse off than the rest of the country. A career counselor I met in Denver suggested looking for work with non-profit organizations (since I now have experience doing that stuff) and that The United Way is a good place to start. Hopefully, that'll open some doors for me.
On top of that, I applied for a cheaper Health Insurance plan (since Blue Cross doubled my monthly rate for no reason recently). Now I have to wait for that to go through.
Losing a job so suddenly is really scary! Luckily, I have enough in my savings account to last me a few months. I just hope a steady job comes my way before i have to start dipping into my savings.
Wish me luck everyone!

I was very suprised when I got back home and The Terminator/Governor of California was saying that he might have to set some prisoners free if his budget propositions don't pass in the special election (the election was held May 19)!! I knew this state was in trouble but...damn. O_o
As for work...luckily my old boss at the restaurant I worked at before I moved agreed to call me in if he ever needed and extra hand. So basically, I get called in if they ever need a spare waitress, hostess, or busser. Its not stable, but at least its a little extra cash here and there. The cool part is that a lot of the customers remembered me and were happy to see me again. That cheered me up. :)

I've pondered leaving California for work. But being thousands of miles away from all my friends and family (pretty much 99% of my friends and family live here in SoCal) was a LOT more difficult than I thought it would be when I first moved back in October. Especially since my parents are currently struggling with medical and financial issues.
